About Lindsey
Counsellor Lindsey Wheeler is a BACP member with ten years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with relationship difficulties, ADHD concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and self-esteem issues.
Lindsey has a background working in prison therapeutic settings and many years as a prison officer. That experience shaped how she listens and how she talks about behaviour, boundaries and safety. She now focuses on adults, including people affected by ADHD in themselves or their partners, and those caught in narcissistic or scapegoating dynamics.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Lindsey uses different approaches depending on the need. She draws on attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns. She uses client-centred ways of working to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She also uses trauma-focused methods for people who have been abused or harmed.
People come for support with anxiety, domestic or sexual abuse, bullying, loss and bereavement, or low motivation and confidence. She also works with issues around intimacy, parenting, anger, addiction and sleep. Lindsey lists additional focus on chronic illness, caregiving stress, autism and personality-related difficulties.
Her style is direct and practical. Conversations aim to make sense of patterns and find small changes that make daily life easier. The first session usually looks at what led someone to ask for help and what they hope to work on next.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take small steps towards what matters in life. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and ongoing stress.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns. It helps people understand how they relate to others and how past experiences shape current problems in close relationships.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used for trauma work. It aims to reduce the intensity of troubling memories so they are easier to think about and cope with.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Lindsey will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as things progress.
Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, avoiding travel, and choosing quieter surroundings. The biography does not specify which remote formats are used, so confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote work helps them keep regular contact while managing day-to-day life.
